BREAKING: Obama Officials Are FABRICATING ISIS Intel Reports To Make It Look Like U.S. Is Winning

In June of 1971, a former Department of Defense employee, Daniel Ellsberg, secretly smuggled out what became known as the “Pentagon Papers.” To the outrage of liberals, they proved that both Presidents Johnson and Nixon had been overstating American success in the Vietnam conflict.

Just yesterday, a major news outlet revealed that over 50 intelligence officials have filed formal complaints alleging that their superiors were inappropriately altering intelligence reports on the Islamic State group to make it appear as if the Obama administration was making more progress than it actually was.

The liberal media’s reaction? Deafening silence.

The report, published Wednesday by The Daily Beast, alleged that the 50-plus intelligence officials have filed formal complaints about what their superiors at U.S. Central Command have been doing over a significant period of time. A probe has been launched by the Defense Department’s inspector general’s office to investigate the claims.

According to the report, “a large number of people tracking the inner workings of the terror groups think that their reports are being manipulated to fit a public narrative.”

Two senior intelligence analysts filed a written complaint with Central Command in July, saying that their reports and briefings were being altered to make terror groups appear smaller and weaker than they actually are.

“The reports were changed by CENTCOM higher-ups to adhere to the administration’s public line that the U.S. is winning the battle against ISIS and al Nusra, al Qaeda’s branch in Syria, the analysts claim,” The Daily Beast explained.

“The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one unnamed Defense Department official added.

The report described a climate in which Central Command higher-ups felt a need to protect their careers by giving only rosy reports, insinuating that the Obama administration wasn’t interested in hearing the actual results of its policies.

Analysts had begun airing their grievances about the reports privately last October. Two officials told reporters that analysts had tried to solve the problem in-house without alerting either the media or inspector general’s office. However, when that effort failed, the sources said that analysts felt they had no choice.

If you wonder why our strategy (or lack thereof) against the Islamic State group and other radical Muslim terrorist organizations in Syria and the Middle East has failed, one needs look no further than this report.

The Obama administration doesn’t want to hear that its strategies aren’t working, Defense Department officials are suborned to give the administration good news in spite of the fact that there isn’t any, and when the charade is revealed, the liberal mainstream media does … nothing.

It’s time we had a real president who dealt with the Islamic State group in a real way. Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter if you agree.
